<p>What do you think? My essays should be great, same with recs. Do I need another safety? My college counselor didn't suggest any less selective schools, so I'm not sure. Right now, my backups are Bard, Kenyon, and Grinnell. Matches are Haverford, Wesleyan, and Oberlin. Reaches are Amherst, Bowdoin, and Middlebury. I'd appreciate chances for any/all of these schools, as well as possible suggestions for another backup. Thanks so much!</p>
